Ofcourse i would sell it for $60. But thats not the main issue. I don't much care if they also sell digital games for $60 just like physical games. As my following posts had stated. My main issue is that there is a very anti consumer bias currently in favor of physical pricing in the idustry that makes very little sense. If we are to be fair and honest, a customer that buys a game digitally is more valuable than a customer that buys physical games. Thats just a fact, because from that one customer the platform holder and publisher of the game is going to make more money. And that cutomer can never sell that game which in turn leads to games flooding the used market (that mind you the publisher or platform holder makes no money from used game sales). That customer also entrnches himself into their ecosystem as all his games only exist on their servers. My issue is that when the price of physical games drop (something retailers have to do to get rid of stock) the price of digital games remain the same. It makes absolutely no sense that you can buy a new physical game for $24 but yet its digital price remains locked at $60. No sense at all... and that practice is ONLY in favour of brick and mortar retailers. Thats what I have a problem with. |
There's no reason for them to drop the price. Because their's no competiton, in a digital store. And why do people keep complaining about used games. The game that's sold, is the same copy, that was purchased. If you're gonna complaina bout used market. You also have to complain about websites like Ebay. And people on their own. selling their copy. How about Nintendo sell used games, at Nintendo world. If they so much want that money. Or even used digital games, huh.
